Regulation  31.  Sheep  that  are  diseased  with  scabies  and  that  have  been  dipped 
once  in  one  of  the  approved  dips,  under  the  supervision  of  an  inspector  of  the 
Bureau  of  Animal  Industry  within  ten  days  of  date  of  shipment,  may  be  shipped 
interstate  for  immediate  slaughter  to  a  recognized  slaughtering  center,  and  when 
so  shipped  the  said  sheep  shall  not  be  diverted  en  route  and  shall  be  slaughtered 
within  two  weeks  after  arrival  at  destination..  If  diseased  sheep  are  to  be 
shipped  interstate  for  stocking  or  feeding  purposes  they  shall  be  dipped  twice 
as  above  indicated,  ten  days  apart,  and  shall  be  submitted  to  inspection  before 
shipment. 

Regulation  32.  When  diseased  sheep  have  been  dipped  once  and  are  shipped 
interstate  for  slaughter  in  accordance  with  Regulation  31,  or  when  exposed 
sheep  are  shipped  interstate  without  dipping  for  immediate  slaughter  in  accord- 
ance with  Regulation  31,  the  proper  officers  of  the  transportation  company  shall 
affix  to  both  sides  of  each  car  a  durable  placard  not  less  than  54  by  8  inches  in 
size,  on  which  shall  be  printed  with  permanent  black  ink  in  bold-face  letters 
not  less  than  14  inches  in  height  the  words  "dipped  scabby  sheep"  or  "ex- 
posed sheep  for  slaughter,"  as  the  case  may  be.  These  placards  shall  also 
show  the  name  of  the  place  from  which  the  shipment  was  made,  the  date  of  the 
shipment  (which  must  correspond  with  the  date  of  the  waybills  and  other  papers) , 
the  name  of  the  transportation  company,  and  the  name  of  the  place  of  destina- 
tion. Each  of  the  waybills,  conductors'  manifests,  memoranda,  and  bills  of  lad- 
ing pertaining  to  such  shipments  by  cars  or  boats  shall  have  the  words  "  dipped 
scabby  sheep"  or  "exposed  sheep  for  slaughter,"  as  the  case  may  be, 
written  or  stamped  upon  its  face.  Whenever  such  shipments  are  transferred  to 
another  transportation  company  or  into  other  cars  or  into  other  boats,  or  are 
rebilled  or  reconsigned  to  a  point  other  than  the  original  destination,  the  cars 
into  which  said  sheep  are  transferred  and  the  new  waybills,  conductors'  mani- 
fests, memoranda,  and  bills  of  lading  covering  such  shipments  by  cars  or  boats 
shall  be  marked  as  herein  specified  for  cars  first  carrying  said  sheep  and  for  the 
billing,  etc.,  covering  the  same.  If  for  any  reason  the  placards  required  by  this 
regulation  are  removed  from  the  car  or  are  destroyed  or  rendered  illegible,  they 
shall  be  immediately  replaced  by  the  transportation  company  or  its  agents,  the 
intention  being  that  legible  placards  shall  be  maintained  on  the  cars  from  the 
time  of  shipment  until  they  arrive  at  destination,  and  the  disposition  of  the  cars 
is  indicated  by  an  inspector  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry.
